I switched to systemd-boot because I could not boot even after wiping all grub files, reinstalling and running grub-mkconfig. Worked fine in minutes with all my kernel entries and Windows. Before that I tried rEFInd, wrote a small lean conf

My question is, what does "free will" even mean?

I like vanilla Android and currently own a Motorola exactly because of this. Installing just what you need is trivial anyway.

I am not a fan of ligatures either. The "compose" key would be another option to insert various Unicode glyphs and it exists already. Unfortunately, with monospace fonts many of these glyphs do not look nice to me due to the width

Interesting. Why doesn't the built-in search feature use a similar technique then?

Out of curiosity, do you have some preferred language in mind for the extensible part? Guile? Something else?

Why does this matter? Both the brain and the workstation have finite amounts of memory, since they have finite masses, and can do random errors when trying to go through a series of steps. It is just the magnitudes that differ regarding the

I am pretty sure that we have not ruled out the possibility that a computer program could simulate a brain, have we?

LCD monitors have strong backlights but most of it is lost. You have diffusers, polarizers, color filters, opaque elements between pixels, and this is before the blocking done to construct the final image. I think the overall intensity lo

At least C++ is now a much nicer language that it was before C++11, isn't it?

I do not know what buyers actually expect, but the phrase "FSD Beta" should sound very stupid to anyone with half a brain. It means that it almost drives like a human or better and it needs a bit of polishing. It is not only false

Wireplumber stores volume settings in ~/.local/state/wireplumber/. It is not a DE thing. I use i3. I have a separate mic and it remembers the volume.

Not sure at all this will help, but wireplumber is supposed to be the replacement for pipewire-media-session. So this is something easy you could try if your distribution has a package for wireplumber.

A possible path would be something initially running on an SBC, like a RISC-V board or even an FPGA. People buy these boards to experiment and use for simple tasks. Something really interesting could gain a small initial following and slowl

Serenity is still a very Unix-like OS though.

I guess you are not referring to some MS extension but to the editor itself, right? I had an issue around a year ago with cpptools on Linux, where a single 80k LOC header would cause obscene memory usage (10+ G) and the extension would basi

You got the wrong numbers for the 4004! The 4004 had just 2300 transistors in a 12 mm^2 area. So, today you can fit 3*10^8 * 12 = 3.6*10^9 transistors in that area, or 1.5 million 4004s, or 650 4004s in the area of the old transistor.

The only thing that my next keyboard probably won't have is the numpad, because I don't use it, and having the mouse closer to my right hand would be a welcome convenience. Other than that, a couple more keys, like for example a

I am aware of the fact that they wrote an installer. I do not think this invalidates my previous comment though.

At the end of the day, as others have probably already said in this thread, the maintainers are unpaid volunteers and choose to focus on certain things for their own reasons and using their finite resources. There are other distributions th

Why should I prefer a strict grid of characters based on technology from more than half a century ago to a GUI for something with the functionality of a tool such as VSCode or Sublime Text?

Why was DirectX, the proprietary API, more successful in the first place? Because it did other things besides graphics as well? Was the graphics API better? OpenGL is reportedly buggy on Windows nowadays, but why?
